Lake District Activity Centre
We
collected our wellies and waterproofs and drove through the beautiful countryside
to Rydal water. Once we had parked
the minibus, we worked as a team to unload the equipment and tie the canoes together
at the water’s edge. The
views were breathtaking as we set sail across the lake. 
We
ended our amazing day around the camp fire roasting marshmallows.
Another day, we visted the Yordas Cave and explored the large
cavern and marvelled at the wonderful natural sights. Our
instructor gave a lot of information about the history of the caves and
explained how the stalagmites and stalactites had been formed over millions of
years. 
We had great fun on the wall climbing. After
a basic practice everyone surpassed their own expectations, overcame fears and
all made it to the top of the wall. 
At the art studio, we painted our slates
that we collected from our canoe day and designed some amazing patterns. We also took
part in an exciting pottery session and had great fun manipulating the clay and
creating designs to take home.
We tackled the
rope course which was a real challenge, but everyone did brilliantly. We then slid
down the snake tube and played archery. The instructor divided us into two teams and decided
to pin balloons onto the target board to see who the best archer was. 
At the end of the week, we had a chance to talk about our favourite activities and what we
had achieved during our stay. Each one of us was presented with a certificate
showing the activities we had done and our individual commendations.
